Humping the Town

[@tiffanynicholas8986]

pov: you’re here from Dear Hank and John and this video is more ridiculous than you ever remember it being

[@cameronwescott3229]

Yes! I didn’t really remember it so I hopped over from the pod😅

[@fishcake_]

OMG SAME

[@lindsay3917]

I know they roasted it but honestly this video makes me so happy

[@Jade-wl5wk]

Why did I ever think this video was okay??

[@madelynmackintosh]

the fact that this video is age-restricted is, quite frankly, the funniest thing in the world

[@marthawilkinson3238]

I know!!! I've been rewatching the vlogbrothers videos and I started when I was 17 with an unverified Google account and now (having watched until like 2017) I have finally been able to watch😂😂😂 I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse...

[@Ahead144]

I still cant believe that this is the same guy that was teaching my class about electron orbitals today

[@zayrao0907]

Dude, Orin hadn't even been born yet and he was already a little embarrassed by this.

[@1224chrisng]

Orin's Eyes , Bleached and Surgically Removed

[@KayteeLola]

"Name something that feels illegal to know, but isn't."

[@kayteed1795]

MAKIN MY WAY DOWNTOWN HUMPIN FAST FACES PASS THEY'RE SCARED NOW.

[@annalisa9755]

Give this woman ALL OF THE THINGS. and cookies. You can have some cookies too.

[@kayteelehman6437]

Oh thank you. I like cookies.

[@kayteelehman6437]

That awkward moment when I am on the wrong profile >_>

[@annalisa9755]

That's okay. Happens to everyone, but i may have to confiscate one of your cookies.

[@michaelbrockwell8627]

Good one 😗😗

[@blue3616]

Now this is the Vlogbrothers video that I really hope Orin finds one day...

[@bookwormandpoet]

blue3616 yessss

[@thetastiestjam]

blue3616"orin dont ever google your dad"- probably Katherine at some point

[@gailrawson682]

I will never hear a single story of my mother behaving in a foolishly carefree manner and that is incredibly sad. My child probably cannot say the same which makes me relieved. I hope Orrin sees this one day and adds it to the evidence that his father is first a human being b4 anything else who had a journey, and told his story one day at a time; just like the rest of us.

[@phoenixliv]

@@gailrawson682 The Katherine gets pretty silly when she and Hank review weird mansions but it's nothing compared to this.

[@damnjoon2808]

This is exactly like when you find teachers on Facebook

[@ericabourland1012]

I would just like this comment, but the mobile app prevents me from doing so. So, *like* Also, hahajajjahahahahah

The sad thing is, you're not wrong

"Excuse me, sir, why are you humping that bear?" "I made a video that was too long."

It's been three years since you made this comment

If it weren't for that book I would have never found vlogbrothers...

This guy is America's chemistry teacher?

[@isabbygabbyorcrabby]

Here to re-live this brilliant moment after the latest Dear Hank and John episode 🤣

[@darbyjohnson6555]

i,, had to pause this and take a short walk in my dorm to get over the second-hand embarrassment in order to finish the video

[@darbyjohnson6555]

shout out to John for reading my comment on the pod (#278) - i think i have lived a full life now and everything after this is just bonus

[@viviantompkins7925]

This comment made me laugh out loud when John read it on the pod 😂

[@cutelittlemoose]

John reading your comment made me revisit this page, one I was sure I'd have no reason to see again. I'm kind of thankful for that "inappropriate for some users" warning keeping it from playing automatically!!! 😂😂 John was clearly revisiting the demons of his own second-hand embarrassment of being the older brother of the Missoula-Humping Billy Hank.

[@rosecomedygold]

How many people thought that vlogbrothers was a pair of highly intelligent, award-winning brothers who have impacted the world in so many amazing ways when they first discovered their channel? Yeah, I didn't think so. :P (but srsly i

[@emilycaballero6052]

My first video was A Song about an Anglerfish...

[@rosecomedygold]

My first video was actually the Tumblr musical. I made sure my friend, who will eventually become a nerdfighter, watched this as her first Vlogbrothers vlog.

[@rosecomedygold]

That's a good one to start with too. I discovered vlogbrothers through TFIOS and through the Tumblr musical, but I didn't realize for the longest time that the man in the thumbnail with peanut butter on his face was also the man that tore my heart into pieces with TFIOS. Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess 😂😂😂

[@ryonhovey4450]

I found them from crash course, because I got bored

[@truboo4268]

I found them on a video involving curse words.. So yeah. I didn't think they were very serious.

[@maxdudek4911]

Ain’t never gon’ be president now, Hank

[@SageGrim]

hes got one less thing to worry about 🤷

[@megans.6180]

*slowly turns computer away from those looking

[@jesscostanza9460]

Today I discovered I can play KZbin videos onto my younger brother's Xbox even while he's using it, overriding whatever he's doing. Naturally, this was the first thing I played.

[@jesscostanza9460]

+Cycling in Edmonton from the Eyes of a Teen haha, certainly! I'm not totally sure on the configurations for both devices involved (or for non-Apple devices, for that matter), but while watching videos on my phone, there's an icon that pops up and allows me to screencast whatever I'm watching to my brother's Xbox. It looks like a rectangle with the wifi symbol, I believe? I'm sorry this isn't super descriptive, Google is your friend, my friend! 8)

[@cunningham-code]

+Jess Costanza So your talking about a thing called Google Cast, if the Xbox KZbin app has ever been set up, it will work (it also works with most modern TVs and Chromecasts)

[@zigzagarisen]

Poor Katherine, if he always does it with that look on his face.

[@autumn7809]

Ghfhgxfhnn hi

[@Billywashere89]

This is a thing that exists, also Hank would interview the president of the United States in a few years after filming this, who would have guessed?

[@ralpatrice]

I wonder if gen z tiktokers know this is the same guy who keeps stopping them from eating grass

[@rayhs1984]

"It is going to be a very big deal" The movie made $300 million dollars. Safe to say you were correct Hank.

[@jasminegates9314]

IT HURT TO REWATCH THIS. I remember thinking it was hilarious when first released, but I am in PHYSICAL PAIN watching it now

[@RyanMutton]

Here after the Dear Hank and John mention.

[@skyegreytv]

I wonder what this guy would be like as a CEO

[@Ninjabanananess]

I pass 99% of these things everyday. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

[@staticrodent]

I'm shocked that a police officer didn't come up at some point and say something like, "I... don't know what you're doing, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's illegal in some way."

[@zcmini000]

Hello Dear Hank and John listeners!

[@zingeuron5094]

I bet the conversation with the guy with the car was interesting. "Hey can I do your car?"

[@irinamatic4834]

The Katherine is one lucky lady :D

[@Kris-lu1rs]

You could kinda say he`s cheating on her?

[@kellyu.2587]

Wait, your town has a Drunk People Crossing sign?!? I want that sign! LOLROTF!

[@EmberIslandPlayer]

This is still my all-time favorite vlogbrothers video.

[@ScottKorin]

I just listened to Dear Hank and John 278: Popeulation Density and that episode made me laugh harder than I've laughed in months So I decided it was time to revisit this William Henry "Hank" Green II classic video.

[@ScottKorin]

Seriously I'm crying from laughing.

[@happyanne515]

I keep going back to this video because it was my gateway into the Nerdfighter community. Thank you for existing. =3

[@hoodiesticks]

Anyone remember the Humpy Hank gif?

[@fluffyInChains]

KZbin continues to recommend this video like once a week. Who am I to tell youtube no?

[@sheaelliott942]

What scares me is the lack of shame Hank shows while doing this. That also makes it increasingly entertaining, but it also worries me. I can't get over how funny this is, and also the feeling that I should not be watching this. DFTBA... I guess?

[@sheaelliott942]

This comment made my day, thank you kind person. *****

[@sheaelliott942]

I unfortunately have not watched it yet, but for research purposes, I will make sure to watch it tomorrow (no time as of now, unfortunately) and report back to you on the matter... For research, of course ;) *****

[@alexiswright6497]

You guys ... I used to watch this video on my older sister's account when I was 15 . . Then I got my own account and it was hidden due to age restriction . . . But I'm 18 now ... AND NOW IT'S BACK AND I'M STILL LAUGHING

[@jamesbrixey8102]

I intended to write something witty about the podcast and retrospective embarrassment But I think I just lost my last brain cell.

[@lambentlamprey]

Worth it :)

[@thejaykuciamusic]

Oh my! As Hank said on the pod, I can’t wait until TikTok discovers this!

[@athekeeper7234]

Y'all made a very questionable decision, directing us all here. (No worries, I was one of the 15%, but I still respect y'all)

[@kjracz15]

watched this after the most recent podcast to date and...and i didn't expect a "not appropriate for some users" pop up...lmao 😂😂

[@nevermind546]

Hello should I show this to my science teacher

[@catherinesmart2961]

Hank this is even worse than I remembered.

[@calliekeeler3327]

Here after the P4A 2021 mention

[@modestysnooze6154]

Me too!

[@nerissarayne3302]

Hello I am here from the Dear Hank and John Episode that was posted today (February, 15th 2021) And all I have to say is wow. I knew this video existed but I had never viewed it before. The warning before the video starts explaining that this video was inappropriate for some viewers was, concerning?? I am very glad the podcast motivated me to watch this video. However, I need some time to recover because it made me laugh so hard and left a puzzled look on my face. Nice job Hank.

[@LaurenDouglas]

I hope the tiktok crowd finds this one day

[@vayda1]

Imagine walking through town and seeing a guy doing that.

[@pillowmcblanketson6909]

More importantly, what if you were a nerdfighter and you saw Hank doing that?

[@emilyyoung4185]

imagine visiting missoula to try and see hank green, and ending up yes, you saw him... but.....

[@cutelittlemoose]

Congrats on being read aloud on the pod by John! I'm over here dying! :P

[@LainyPauli]

PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE

[@neweyesable]

Thanks for reminding us about this on the pod, I can't believe it was nine years ago! Hank looks so young, it's so weird to think I've been watching you guys for over a decade. Just at the tail end of high school when this came out and now I'm a proper adult with a job and everything.

[@akakaki]

My favourite thing with this video is Hank's smile :D

[@michaela4805]

Currently listening to Dear Hank and John and needed to see this for context.

[@Veronica-gl5lr]

Thanks for reminding me of this wonderful video in the latest Dear Hank & John- very appreciated Green friends

[@DaedricSheep]

Hank Green: Twerking before it was mainstream ;p

[@cornishphilosopher]

Anyone else here after the latest episode of Dear Hank and John?

[@alainart]

I remember watching this years ago for the first time, this is the only video that lives rent free in my head. I can't wait until tiktok discovers this

[@LaurenDouglas]

Just commented the same thing 😂 Saw yours after I posted mine when sorting by newest comment first

[@cutelittlemoose]

I cracked up hearing Hank read your comment out loud on the pod!! It's like him low key roasting himself! (pod your comment is now famous thanks to is here: dear-hank-john-a5cf29b8.simplecast.com/episodes/278-popeulation-density )

[@ilovebats10]

God this is so much worse then I remembered. Evidently enough people got sent here after the pod that now youtube is digging it out and recommending it to people

[@AnnaEwing]

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS IS OVER TWO YEARS OLD, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

[@mitchharrison3755]

Am I the only one that noticed the figures on the shelf (to the left of Hank's face) move slightly on the jump cut from 3:24-3:25? That either means they fell or Hank plays with them between takes. Either way, that's adorable.

[@Mmmgyhvfdujnkkdowk]

as many times as i’ve seen this video, i will never get over how embarrassed it makes me feel.

[@firefly-fez]

Here after the pod. Hank, whenever a nerdfighter does something really stupid and embarrassing, we'll be able to say to ourselves "Well, it could be worse. I could have posted a video to youtube where I hump prominent local landmarks." So... at least there's that? Does that... help?

[@BrandyLee01]

Anyone else here from the Pod? 😂

[@ddivyaaa]

This is the first KZbin video I am watching in 2017. No regrets.

[@arpitadeshmukh3714]

Well not the first, but pretty happy that came across this

[@1224chrisng]

Correction , First Video of 12017

[@joe4490]

KZbin just put this at the top of my fyp. Hank you only have yourself to blame for discussing it on the pod.

[@boi6002]

Wow you taught me so much in high school

[@phoenixliv]

Wow, it's been 10 years since TFIOS. /I think humping the town for that beautiful story was totally apropos. Hazel Grace and Gus would 100% approve.

[@samvidas9599]

[@adityakhanna113]

Pretty much yeah

[@SavvyDork]

Yeah, i feel like that too.

[@robustglutes3578]

If this doesn’t make you love Hank Green even more, we don’t want it.

[@MS-ic3rd]

Who came here out of fear from Hank’s TikTok & was worried that this had been taken down.... thankfully still here 💚

[@jilmcmahon73]

Hank: Congrats on getting your book in the wall street journal *Five seconds later* Hank: humps everything in sight

[@annalisa9755]

Someone, please give Hank ALL OF THE THINGS for doing this. And some cookies. He can have some cookies too.

And three years later everyone basically knows what The Fault In Our Stars is

[@jablair51]

Wait until the tiktok kids find this one 😂

[@gailrawson682]

Still love this video. Always will love this video. If we are supposed to imagine people complexly, then it is a small effort to imagine Hank once humped a defenseless elk statue (among other blameless and defenseless landmarks of Missoula) AND he is also America's Science Teacher. If you want to struggle with imagining a person and how they could do what they did all in the same life, try Fritz Haber. Those contradictions will make your brain catch fire.

[@MrJwalker321]

Still my favorite punishment, just nice.

[@Godosomethingtwice]

When the video started I was like OH. OK. The I was.... What the fluff? Then... I dont even know anymore. Who am I? What is my life worth? Where are the pixies and unicorns?

Clicked on the video and got a content warning. Ok Hank. I will watch this anyways. This is the man who taught me biology.

[@jackm.j.3549]
